Tortellini with Veggies and Shallots

B and I are really working on using up ingredients that are sitting in our fridge, freezer or cupboards before making another shopping trip…this is a difficult task especially for one person who loves takeout, and the other who loves cooking new recipes. Well, every night can’t be gourmet, so we gave it a go. What was in our freezer? Frozen tortellini, frozen veggies, shallots on the counter, a lemon in the fridge and fresh Parmesan. I recalled that I had a recipe for something similar in my Real Simple cookbook…and I did! I made a couple changes, but it’s essentially the same, and incredibly fast, easy and delicious!
